Hi my partner has been under going cancer treatment for the last 3 years first it was vocal chord cancer and lung cancer,he had an operation for lung and radiotherapy for vocal chord. Second time round october 2019 he was diagnosed with another lung cancer and lymph node affected weve just finished a gruelling 9 weeks of combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy. He is on the mend slowly and I keep spirits up, my situation in dealing with this second time round has affected me more than I realise and I've worked all through treatment and juggled my work around this. Were now nearly 3 weeks post treatment and the last few months have caught up with me and I feel so nervous and sad alm the time I've got to a point where I honestly feel a breakdown coming on I hate to trouble him with his problems but he notices it. I feel the time has come to take some sick leave and try and sort my head I'm literally in constant panic mode,is this common for partners to feel so mentally drained especially after treatment.
